This paper deals with the preservative treatment of Bambusa tuldoides. The stakes 2 meters long were treated by the cold-soaking method in a 5% pentaclorofenol solution for 7 to 8 days. Results on volume, moisture content and air seasoning of stakes are presented. Retentions of preservative solution ranged from 9,3 to 35,8 kilogram per cubic meter (0,58 to 2,24 pounds per cubic foot). The cost year of service of a treated stake was Cr$ 5,58 and Cr$ 14,28 for the untreated. So, the preservative treatment of Bambusa tuldoides stakes is recommended.
